Aske said:The OP of an official thread can still be an great source of info for people who know nothing about a given game simply because they haven't bothered to click any of the pre-release hype threads. Not everyone has an ear to the ground regarding every big game release, and with a niche title like Bayonetta, everything we can do to encourage sales helps. The OP doesn't have to include pictures of the box art for every region, but a bit of info and a few choice screenshots might actually sell a few extra copies of the game.
I like the OP in theory, but on balance, I wish it had more zazz. If not for fans like me, then for potential fans who might finally click a Bayonetta thread and leave an instant later still not knowing what a Bayonetta is or why they should care.

They would care about the games but not the developer. Millions of people play the Halo games and still have no idea who Bungie is so I very much doubt that you can get more than a handful of people to care about one Japanese game designer. He's no Shigeru Miyamoto.Minamu said:Swedish Magazine Level gave it two 10's. Final comment was "Dante may cry". How original :lol
Don't mind the haters, Rez. We all know the release date now, and that's all we need to know

Saw some big ads for Bayonetta in the parisian metro this morning: that surprised me quite a bit.Dave1988 said:Advertising and hyping this game falls to us because SEGA doesn't seem to care about proper marketing.

Dave1988 said:Well, this is a new franchise and by a fairly unknown to the mainstream studio. Advertising and hyping this game falls to us because SEGA doesn't seem to care about proper marketing.
Of course i did, despite the snow and the cold...Kandrick said:Hah you finally came here
Btw you should have bought it at mediamarkt, was only 98 instead of 109.

I cursed every saint on the fucking calendar. I'm all for strong enemies, but what about the goddamn cars??. They always got in the way, interrupted my combos and did everything to piss me off.
Dahbomb said:If I had to rate the Kamiya games while not including Bayonetta in the list, it would be:
VJ < RE2 < Okami < DMC1
This is just personal opinion here, but I would strongly say that VJ is the weakest game in Kamiya's profile and that is saying A LOT since VJ is still a quality game with great fun, great game play and great style. VJ doesn't reach the level that is DMC or Bayonetta though, there just isn't THAT much to the game play.
DMC is the benchmark of action games, it's an instant classic. Okami while isn't the benchmark of action adventure game, it is still pretty much a classic. RE2 is next because it truly pushed RE to where it is today.
I would think that Bayonetta falls somewhere around Okami/DMC1 level though I would be extremely difficult for me to rate Bayonetta better than DMC1 as like mentioned in a review... it is the culmination of everything in the genre in a polished, well executed package. DMC1 was revolutionary, Bayonetta is evolutionary.

I can't be the first one to point out the resemblance between your avvy Virgil and the guy in the gif. Similar hair, outfit, skin tone, WTF! and who is that guy anyways? I know he's the vocalist for some band, but I can't place him for some reason...Dahbomb said:OH HELLZ YEA!
